On this episode I speak with Jack Mason aka The Perfume Nationalist.


Jack describes The Perfume Nationalist podcast as a continuing radio soap opera in which art and culture, high and low, are discussed through the historical lens of fragrance.


In our conversation we talk about what Jack describes as the war on beauty and how wearing perfume can be an act of disobedience to the increasing sterility of public spaces and a liberating psychedelic aesthetic experience in and of itself. We also talk about our shared love of feminist cultural provocateur and 90s icon Camille Paglia, the therapeutic value of soap operas and trashy novels, and (thanks to Jack’s podcast) my newfound appreciation for the North American shopping mall as one of the last remaining temples to the goddess Aphrodite.
